Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Allison R. Litmer's research investigates the physiological and behavioral responses of lizards to environmental conditions, with a particular focus on thermoregulation and digestion. Her work examines how factors such as meal size, feeding frequency, and ambient temperature influence digestive performance in various lizard species, including the common wall lizard (<i>Podarcis muralis</i>) and prairie lizards (<i>Sceloporus consobrinus</i>). Litmer also studies the impact of introduced species on activity patterns and thermoregulation, as well as the effects of nighttime warming and prey availability on lizard physiology. Her research explores the relationship between thermal sensitivity, body size, life history, and reproduction under changing climate scenarios. Litmer has published 13 papers, accumulating 52 citations, and has an h-index of 4. She has collaborated with Steven J. Beaupré, Maxwell D. Carnes-Mason, and Morgan K. Pelley, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
